New book on early days of college radio

There is a new book out about college radio by TV historian Tim Brooks. It concerns very early radio days at Dartmouth College. This is from the daily radio blog written by Tom Taylor. I post it for informational purposes only.

“College Radio Days” from Tim Brooks uses Dartmouth College as a lens to look at the entire field of college radio in the U.S. There’s even an early expletive problem at Dartmouth’s experimental AM there in 1925. Tim says it was “abruptly shut down after a scandal in which the president of the college was introduced to give a speech, only to have an engineer throw a switch the wrong way and send a stream of curses from the control room out over the air.” (Even then they were learning the lesson that you always treat a mic as if it were live.) Among the Dartmouth college radio alumni were WOR New York’s John A. Gambling (the second of three generations) and writer/comedian/actor Buck Henry. Tim’s “College Radio Days: 70 years of broadcasting at Dartmouth College” is available now.

Thanks for sharing — it sounds like a great book!

Plus, though a link to the book is easily found via a Web search, for the ease of others, here it is (I would certainly hope that board owners would have no problem with posting this link to the author’s page):
